Hi All,
I am struggling to find the thevenin equivalent for the following circuit. I will leave out the values for the resistances because they don't really matter in this case. I'm looking for guidance on how to find the overall thevenin.
I know the R-Thevenin is the same as the R-equivalent for the circuit. So I approached the problem as I would to find the equivalent for any other circuit.
R1 is parallel with R2. So This new resistance would be (R1 * R2)/ (R1 + R2). Let's call this new resistance R12
This next part is where I get confused. I believe that R3, R12, and R5 are all in series with one another so you can add their resistances. and this new resistance would be in parallel with R4.
I then simulate the circuit using PSpice and I do not get the same answer as the simulation. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
